80 Percent Arms Inc .308 Easy Jig
Easier
Built in drill/end-mill depth gauge for the trigger and rear-shelf pockets
Eliminates the need for expensive measurement tools
Quick verification of depth setting – eliminates slippage issues that can ruin parts
Eliminates constant measuring to determine depth while milling
Safer
End-mill downward force can’t separate the drill press taper chuck
It is safer to move router by hand than to move the jig around on a drill press
Uses Common Hand Tools
The Easy Jig is designed to hold tolerances using a common hand-drill
No drill press is required, milling is done with a router
Routers are much more portable than a drill press, easily borrowed from a friend
Routers are made for cutting pockets using a template
Routers are cheaper than a drill press.
Faster
Pocket drilling requires 10 holes drilled once – Traditional jigs require 42 holes to be drilled once, precisely aligned and clamped, then re-drilled to a larger diameter
Trigger pocket can be cut in 6 to 11 passes vs 25 passes required with a drill press
Router cuts pockets 5-6x faster
Hand-drilling the trigger group/safety selector holes is faster to setup
Lower can be completed in 1 hour (instead of 3 to 8 hours for the old drill press method)
Durable
The Easy Jig can be used to make dozens of lowers
Components are Type III hard anodized for extra wear resistance
This version of the Easy Jig is ONLY compatible with 80% Arms .308 lowers.
